Cookies Policy
Last updated: 4 November 2026.
What cookies and similar technologies are
Cookies are small text files stored on your device when you visit a website. They allow the site to remember actions and preferences over time. Similar technologies include pixels and local storage that can store or access information on your device.
Why this site uses them
starluno uses these technologies to ensure the website functions correctly, improve performance, understand usage patterns, and deliver relevant content for our audiovisual production courses focused on broadcast studio design, camera control, lighting, sound engineering and live event workflows.
Strictly necessary cookies
These cookies are essential for basic site operation such as security, session management and form submissions. They do not require consent under PECR because they are strictly necessary.
Functional cookies
Functional cookies remember your preferences such as language or region settings to provide an enhanced experience. Consent is obtained before they are set.
Analytics or performance cookies
These cookies collect information about how visitors use the site to help us improve content and navigation. They are used only with your consent.
Advertising or targeting cookies
Although this site does not run behavioural advertising, any targeting cookies from third parties would require explicit consent under UK rules.
Social-media cookies
If social sharing buttons are present they may set cookies from those platforms. These are only activated after consent.
First-party versus third-party cookies
First-party cookies are set by starluno directly. Third-party cookies come from external providers such as analytics services and are subject to their own policies.
Session versus persistent cookies
Session cookies expire when you close the browser. Persistent cookies remain for a defined period, typically up to 24 months depending on purpose, after which they are automatically deleted.
Data handled and purpose of each category
Necessary cookies process minimal identifiers for security. Analytics cookies record page views and device type to generate aggregated statistics. Functional cookies store preference choices. No personal data is sold.
Consent or exemption basis
Under the Privacy and Electronic Communications Regulations and UK GDPR, strictly necessary cookies are exempt from consent. All other categories rely on your affirmative consent which can be withdrawn at any time.
Cookie or provider table
- Name: _session – Provider: starluno – Category: necessary – Duration: session
- Name: _consent – Provider: starluno – Category: necessary – Duration: 12 months

How the consent manager works
A site-wide cookie banner allows you to accept, reject or customise categories. Choices are stored and can be changed later via the banner link on every page. Withdrawing consent stops further collection for those categories.
Browser-level controls
You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings. Disabling necessary cookies may prevent the contact form and other core features from working properly.
International transfers
Some third-party providers may transfer data outside the UK. Appropriate safeguards such as standard contractual clauses are used. See the Privacy Policy for further details.
